Another Express Comnnny.

With the advent of the Cheyenne &
Burlington passenger service another
equally welcome institution will become a
permanent fixture. The Wells, Fargo
Express company is the concern to which
reference is made.
Frank l.. Clark, an authorized agent of
the pioneer company, arrived from Coun-
Gil Bluffs late Saturday night and was met
by a LEADER representative yesterday.
The gentleman will select office quarters
at once and will receive and transmit ex-
press matter, beginning about the middle
of next month.
1t is regretted that Wells, Fargo cannot
compete for the Western trade to and
from this point, as thousands of pounds
Of California fruits and produce which are
shipped by rapid transit are consumed in
this section annually.
Many years have elapsed since the pio-
ncer express company transacted business
in this section. The mention of Wells
Fargo causes the memory of many an old
timer to revert back to the pre- railroad
days when their Concord coaches we're
considered marvcls of speed and safety.
This company has u model money order
system and many other excellent features.

The cosy meeting room of the Alert
hose company was the scene of a very
pleasant event Sunday afternoon and
evening, Extensive preparations had
been made by the boys for the reception
and entertainment of brother firemen and
other visitors.
Beginning at . O'Clock an elegant lunch
was served to all, excellent cigars were
proffcred to lovers of the weed, while a
limited amount of liquid refrcshment was
rendered by the gentlemen presiding at
the sideboard. The punch was distilled
by a master hand.
The distribution OF Christmas presents
from a handsomely decorated tree was the
occasion of endless amusement. For the
time jaw was u%nconfincd. Instrumental
and vocal music of a high order was fur
nished by the Alert concert company.
Guitar and harmonica selections by Geo.
Thompson, Andy Roedel and Mr.. Skolds
were exceptionally fine while the ballads
sung by Mr.. Ayers in his inimitable style
were fully appreciated.
The festivities ceased at a reasonable
hour and each participant asserted that
the day could not have been observed
more pleasantly.

The edition for 1883 of the sterling
Medical Annual known as Hostetter's Al

VIM. W. Jeffrey, of Cheyenne, Dies In
California;.

Died-At San Francisco, Cal, Dec. %,
at 10 o'clock a. m, VIM. W. jeffrey, of
consumption. Deceased was in his 33d
year.
The news of Mr.. Jeffrey's demise was
conveyed to his brother, County Clerk j.
K. Jeffrey, by a telegram received Sun
day. So many friends have been con-
stantly inquiring for news from his bed
side hat the sad tidings were known
throughout the city a few hours after his
death. The sentence, Twill Jeffrey is
dead" was breathed in hushed tones, and
wounded many hearts where a tender spot
was reserved for the bright and intelligent
young man who was the friend of all, and
who never wearied of doing good, whose
fair name was untarnished, and who
was never even accused of doing a
despicable act or conscientiously inficting
a wrong, All will miss the upright man,
and kind and c~onsiderate friend who
has been called away in the prime of life.
A continual sufferer from the weakening
ravages of merciless lung troubles, he
was always willing to assist in relieving
the sufferings of others. A fellow fire
man, lodge brother or friend always re-
ceived the comfort to be derived from his
tender care, the disinterested solicitude
which makes the man among men.
Appended is a brief sketch of the life
of deceased:
He was born in Newburg, Orange Co.,
N. Y, in 1854. came to Cheyenne in the
summer of 1872. Shortly after his ar
rival he entered the employ of Hon. NJ.
f. Post, at that time engaged in the book
and stationery business on the corner now
occupied by Post bank. He was after
ward in the employ of the government in
the quartermaster's department at Camp
Carlin. In 1879 Mr.. Jeffrey was ap-
pointed deputy county clerk and occupied
that position until his election as assessor
in 1882, for which latter Office he qualified
in January of the following year, was re-
elected without opposition in 1884. His
term OF Office expired last January,
October 25, 1889, Mr.. Jeffrey married
Miss c. [. Benton, the daughter of a well
known citizen of Crook county. The
union was a most happy one, although
blessed with no children.
Mr.. Jeffrey and his wife went to San
Francisco in February Of this year, where
he engaged in the real estate business I'M
til stricken with his final illness.
Deceased was a member of Magic City
Legion Select Knights and the Pioneer
HOOK and Ladder company and these So
cieties will conduct the funeral.
The obsequies will occur here but the
date of inteirment cannot be ascertained
at present.

Kept His Promise.

Kelly, the wreck, the incorrigable inc
briate who last month subscribed his X
to a hand bill purported by Marshal
Schnitger and Judge Lee to be an affidavit
in which deponent promised to remain
outside the city limits until Christmas,
bobbed up s%erenely Saturday night. He
proceeded to fill himself with rat poison
and was a fit subject for the attention of
the police before spending twenty minutes
in various saloons.

Cheyenne's German citizens have
gained a reputation for jovial hospitality
extending throughout a wide scope of the
Western country. OF any entertainments
given under the auspices of the Manner
Choir Society, it can be said that success is
assured from the moment of its concep-
ton.
The concert, Christmas tree and ball
last night was no exception to this well
established rule.
The entertainment opened by an over
ture rendered by the peerless 18th infan
try orchestra, a musical organization need
ing no ~flattery. The orchestra also gave
splendid selections from The MiKadO and
Begyer Student.
German choruscs were rendered by the
same voices which recently assisted in the
kinder symphony conccit at the opera
house. As upon that occasion each vocal
list was at his best. Mr.. Chas. Wilscck
welded the baton. The comic operatta
DdS KdtzeHstandchen and the StradeHa
duet were exceptionally fine numbers.
Messrs. Gauff, Dillman and Wellnitz COW
cred themselves with glory on the stage,
while Messrs. Wilseck and Braun accept
ably oficiated as accompanies.
Following the concert came the distri-
button OF presents from the fruitful tree.
The tokens were disposed Of by lot and
the bachelor who was the recipient of a
baby rattle probably thought fortunes
wheel had been turned once too often.
There were many really fine presents re-
ceived by holders of lucky bits of card
board.
The order of dances was Of the proper
length for such an event, comprising
eleven carefully chosen selections.
The committees having the affair IN
charge were: Arrangement-V. Portz,
J.Gauff, Phil Zehncr, Jr. andA. Almstedt.
Receptions. Bon, ST., L. Kabis, f.
Schweickert, +, Lafrentz. Door-Ed.
Kapp, j. Wellnltz. Floor-Geo. Bcs-
cherer, Phil Zehner, Jr., H. Wellnitz.
AT LIBRARY HALL.
The letter carriers sold over 200 tickets
to their first annual ball given in the
opera house last night. When the city
band orchestra struck up the grand
march the hall was comfortably filled, and
an hour later was crowded. The floor was
never smoother, or the merry dancers
more intent. upon extracting all the pleas
ure there was in the occasion.
Next to the Typographical masquerade,
it was the best attended ball ofthe season.
Home, Sweet Home" the final number
was played at a pretty early hour this
morning and the throng dispersed fully
satisfied with the letter carriers first an
nual and wishing them wei better sue
cess next year.
There is a sort of dry humor in the ar
rangement of the committees. One per-
using the list would suppose hat the
Cheyenne postofice boosted but three
gray uniformed messengers. The commit
tees were: Hoor-Jas. +. Gross, ID. A.

NO RECEPTION.
Burlington & Missouri Officials Cannot
be Present.

The projected Cheyenne & Burlington
formal reception fixed for next week has
been abandoned. This action was taken
on account of the receipt of the subjoined
letter by Secretary Potter Of the citizens
committee Yesterday. This unfortunate
but doubtlessly unavoidable termination of
what promised to be one of the greatest
vents in the history of the city, is deeply
regretted by all. The citizens most ear
nestly desired to substantially assure the
officials of their kindly feelings toward the
road. Appended is the communication:
OMAHA, Dec. 23.-Chdrles ~. Potter,
ESQ. DEAR SIR: Referring again to your
letter. | find after a personal inspection of
our Cheyenne line that while the track is
now in good shape for fast trains, we shall
need additional water stations and eating
houses to make it a first-class passenger
line. To give the necessary time for the
arranging of all details in good shape, we
have decided not to running
through passenger trains until about the
18th or Goth of January.
On account of this delay and because
the officers of our company have different
engagements requiring their absence at
different dates in January. l regret that
we are compelled to forego the pleasure of
accepting your invitation toa public recep-
ton.
We shall all expect to go to Cheyenne
at. different times this winter, and we
hope to have an opportunity to meet the
merchants in q quiet way at their places
of business. Please thank the committee
for their kindness, and say to them that
the Burlington will make an extra effort
to be of substantial service to your thriv-
ing city. Yours truly,

SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
The Celebration of Christmas and
the Extra Holiday.
Appropriate Services at the Various
Churches Sunday.
MannerchOr Hop and Letter Car
riers' Ball Last Night.

HChristmas itself was a very pleasant
day and better weather than that which
prevailed yesterday could not be desired,
though the appearance of the black flag
floating from the signal office early in the
morning induced a number of II told you
SOS" to venture the remark that they had
prophesied a storm severalIdays ago. But
the temperature, the spectacle of lowering
clouds are unknown quantities to the aver
age Cheyenneite bent on business, pleas
ure or duty.
THE CHURCHES.
Quite naturally the churches were the
center of attraction Christmas day. All
were beautifully decorated. The sermons
preached were eloquent and appropriate
to the occasion. The story of the birth of
Christ and the star of Bethlehem were re-
told as it has been told since the only Son
was given that sinners might be saved.
The music was exceptionally fine. Such
laudable efforts had been made to excel
that discrimination here would be un-
Just.
YESTERDAY.
The town was unusually quiet yesterday.
Business was entirely suspended and mer-
chants, clerks, mechanics and laborers
chose to spend the day in the pleasant
seclusion of the home circle.
In many quarters the afternoon was
spent in preparation for events Of the
evening. One on pleasure bent or a SUI
ferer from n had no difficulty in
dropping the 6ldSe air for a few hours at
least last night.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
AT 1870 o'clock the spacious lecture
room Of the Congregational church was
filled to OVERLOOKING by children of the
Sunday school and members of the So
cietY. The event was a most pleasant
one. After the rendition of the appended
entertaining programme, fruit, candy, pop
corn, ETC., was freely distributed and a So
cial time followed. Subjoined is the ex-
cellent programme:
